Three stone alignments, ten cairns, three stone hut circles and a length of the Great Western Reave on Longash Common is a Bronze Age and Iron Age monument complex located on Longash Common in Devon. The site comprises multiple components of archaeological significance: stone alignments typical of Bronze Age ritual or territorial demarcation, burial cairns indicating sustained use of the landscape during the Bronze Age, and domestic stone hut circles that demonstrate settlement patterns during both the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The Great Western Reave, a length of which crosses the site, is a substantial linear boundary structure of later prehistoric date that may represent territorial or land division practices. Together these elements form an important palimpsest of monument use spanning several centuries of later prehistory.
